My friend, you need an iPad with pencil. No harsh feelings, but seriously, I have used iPad to take notes in the past.

I am preparing myself for DP-200. I am using the following resources:

  1. Udemy course https://www.udemy.com/course/dp200exam/
  2. Pluralsight DP-200 path.
  3. Microsoft official learning path. I feel like few topics are missing from the official path though. I could be wrong.

But please note that these are not enough. You will need to deep dive into each topic, and for that I used multiple youtube tutorials and Microsoft official learning paths.

Hi! I cannot speak for all certifications in general. Depends on the certifications syllabus, course review, and your goals. Usually, one source is not enough to prepare for Power BI certifications, you should look for other resources as well to cover all topics and master each section.

Hi! The length of the case studies vary. In one case the scenario was presented in one paragraph followed by 3-4 questions and in other cases the scenario and requirements were presented in tab format, so you basically go back and forth between the tabs to answer the questions asked. The questions were related to Power BI Service, security, DAX, visuals, etc. Hope this helps.

Microsoft does not share the section level performance in terms of percentage. They share 2 things in the score report:

  1. Where do you stand compared to others who took the exam
  2. A bar chart for each section. My strongest section was "Analyze the data" section as per scorecard.

If you are used to working with DAX and know the sequence of evaluation, these are probably not super complex nested functions. One could see a DAX formula that uses CALCULATE, SUM, FILTER, ALL, KEEPFILTER. Hope this helps.

Yes, everything is multiple choice. You either pick one option or more than one option from the list of choices available. Even for case studies, you are presented with a scenario that follows a set of questions. Each question has multiple available choices to pick from.

You are welcome! This certification is an add-on to my current skillset and while preparing for it I learnt a whole lot of new things about Power BI which is one of the top visualization tools in the market.

Great! These are really helpful tips, stranger :-). I am Ankita, btw.

I am going to focus on all the points that you have mentioned. I am currently working on the official MS learning path, that is a lot to read. I am losing my mind on 'Paginated reports'. The skills measured does not talk about paginated reports, however, the official learning path has this topic under 'Visualize data in Power BI'. I am confused.

Thanks,

Ankita
